America's involvement in providing assistance and food to the
underdeveloped nations of the
world, increasing food requirements here at home, science and

method by which Hodgin HaU can
be evacuated," states Dr. Arthur
F. Jackson, dean of the School of
Education and General Studies.
Members of the faculty, students,

When the need to evacuate
arises, persons in the basement
will exit via the side door which
faces Curtis Hall.
The front door of Hodgin facing
Bluford Library wiU be used by
persons on the first floor.
AU persons on the second floor
will exit by using the stairway and
the door nearest Curtis Hall.
The stairway and door adjacent

Purple Heart Highlights Military Ceremony
By PATRICIA LANIER
The Army Reserve Officers
Training Corps of the Agricultural
and Technical CoUege held a military ceremony on March 10 to
award posthumously the "Purple
Heart" and "Bronze Star" medals
to the parents of Second Lieutenant William E. Davis, Jr. The
ceremony was actually held for a
dual purpose; the other being the
HaU of Fame Dedication which
also featured Lieutenant Davis.
Second Lieutenant William E.
Davis received his commission
from the Army upon graduation on
June of 1964, from A&T. He was
a Sociology major who was working as a counselor at Cherry Youth
Center, Goldsboro, North CaroUna
at the time of his induction in the
Army.
As Lt. Col. Harold Lanier, professor of mUitary science, presented the Davis Family with the
outstanding merits of achievement
Lieutenant Davis received for services "above and beyond the call
of duty," Lt. Col. Herbert Parker,
assistant professor of military
science, read the citations presented by Headquarters Department of the Army, Washington, D.
C. Lieutenant Davis received the
"Purple Heart" for the wounds he
received in action in Vietnam on
December 10, 1965. He received the
"Bronze Star" for his display of
outstanding heroism while serving
as Platoon Leader on a "Search
and Destroy" operation in the vicinity of Di-an Vietnam.
Lieutenant Davis and his com
pany were in the midst of intense
fire when Davis took it upon him-
seU to crawl within 15 meters of
the deadly shelling by an estimated 20 Viet Cong. He unsuccessfully threw one grenade failing to
neutralize the bunker. Upon his
second attempt, Davis crawled
closer to the range of fire and
raised to throw the grenade only
to be struck down immediately
with a shower of buUets kiUing
him. Davis was commended for
his outstanding display of aggressiveness and devotion to duty and
personal bravery keeping with the
finest tradition of MiUtary Service
by the United States Army in receiving two of the most distinguished medals to be awarded to
a soldier.
The HaU of Fame Dedication,
which also featured Davis, marked
the beginning of a memorable
event. The Hall of Fame was
established to honor those officer
graduates who have contributed
outstanding achievements in the
enhancement of the ROTC Program and image of the Agricultural and Technical CoUege whUe on
active duty.
There are two plaques hanging
in Campbell Hall in dedication to
these outstanding officers. One is
engraved with the following inscription — "Dedicated to the
Army ROTC Graduate Officers of
this institution whose scholastic
performance at their Branch
Orientation Schools has contributed
to a better image of A&T College."
The following names are included
thus far: William H. Hardy, 1954;
Charles D. Bussey, 1955; Paul M.
McGuire, 1958; WiUiam T. Water-
mann, 1959; George A. Waters,
1960; Matthew Minnicks, 1961;
Chapin Horton, 1962; Ernest L.
Simmons, 1963; Ethbert S. Carr,
Jr., 1964.
The only outstanding Army RO
TC Graduate officer who performed scholastic achievement at his
Branch School present at the ceremony was Charles D. Bussey who
is a Major on active duty. He is
serving as professor of military
science of aU high schools with an
ROTC Program in Indianapolis,
Indiana.
The second plaque is inscribed
"Dedicated to the Army Officer
Graduates of the A&T College of
North Carolina who have distinguished themselves by outstanding
performances of duty in the service of their country." There are
but two names on this plaque up
to this point — WUUam E. Davis,
Jr., 1964; WUliam B. Neal, 1950.
The two plaques that are inscribed with the merits of outstanding achievements mentioned
above, along with portraits of the
persons installed, will be permanently affixed in CampbeU HaU.
Tutorial Program Offers Help To
Elementary And High School Students
A Tutoring Program known as
GUTS — The Greensboro United
Tutorial Services — has been offering help to elementary, junior high
school, and high school students
who wish to be tutored in any subject. Students who participate in
GUTS as tutors come from many
of the coUeges and universities in
the Greensboro area.
The coUege students meet with
their individual "tutees" for two
hour sessions once a week in one
of several tutoring sites in the
community. Teaching in subjects of
their own interest, the tutors most
often help students who are having
difficulty with their reading skills;
other popular subjects are social
studies, mathematics and science.
GUTS was established because
of some major educational problems existing in the Greensboro
Public Schools. The reading levels
of these students do not measure
up to those in other communities.
GUTS is attempting to combat
these problems through a one-to-
one tutor-tutee relationship.
GUTS offers an opportunity for
college and elementary, junior high
school, high school students of different backgrounds to get together
for their mutual advantage. YOU
are welcome to participate as a
tutor. It can be discouraging at
times, but it also has proved to be
an exciting and rewarding experience for many tutors and "tutees."
